The International Tennis Federation (ITF), which on Monday issued a statement describing Ramos as one of the most respected umpires in tennis, has appointed him to officiate the semi-final of the Davis Cup, the international men's team event, between Croatia and the United States. But the U.S. Tennis Association and Women's Tennis Association have come out in support of Williams, which has angered the umpire community.

Adams noted that Ramos was "following the code", but added that a "soft" warning for coaching could have averted the blowup over something that happens frequently on the men's and women's sides.

Andy Murray received a code violation from Ramos at the 2016 Rio Olympics after Ramos alleged the Briton called him a "stupid umpire".

Several prominent figures in the sport have backed Williams for exposing the double standards within tennis while others have criticised her for lacking sportsmanship.

There were fewer issued to women - 43.

"The big issue for umpires everywhere is the importance of the support of governing bodies when umpires are just out there doing their job and making decisions under rules which are given to them by those very governing bodies". So, take the US Open singles' tournament. Players can be fined up to $20,000 for each of those offenses.

So, once these factors have been taken into account, there's no evidence that women were fined more often than men per set during the 2018 US Open. The incident has sparked heated reactions, from former and current players, to celebrities, to the officials themselves. "That is not right", she protested. "They had everything to do with observing clear breaches of the grand slam code of conduct and then having the courage to call them without fear or favour".
